Ps. I discovered that the hd only freezes on Windows not on linux, at least on my daily usage, maybe its the windows driver for the HD ?

I got the info from the Mac System Profiler, by drilling down to the driver under the Serial-ATA bit. There usually isn’t firmware info printed on the drive AFAIK.

We're trying to identify what version of firmware is on the drive so that we can order a similar type drive to get the firmware off and get the data off the failed drive. Is there any real way of identifying the firmware by looking at the drive? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Steven Hi, we have the same type drive and we actually had it fail.
